The trumpet, dating back to ancient civilizations, is one of the most recognizable brass instruments, known for its bright, piercing sound. It plays a lead role in orchestras, jazz bands, and marching ensembles. Iconic models include the Bach Stradivarius 180S, Yamaha Xeno, Schilke B1, and Getzen Eterna. Trumpets are widely used for fanfares, solos, and dynamic melodic lines, making them essential in both classical and modern genres.
